I don't know how it's possible, but none of Judy Blume's 20-odd novels has ever been made into a feature film. Well, until now: Tiger Eyes, Blume's novel about a teen who moves from New Jersey to New Mexico after the death of her father, hit theaters June 7—and the first look is here:

Sniff, sniff. I'm already crying, and I haven't seen the flick yet. You know, as crazy as I think it is that a Blume book is just now being made into a movie, maybe it's a blessing in disguise? We all know how often books-to-movies fail, but I think this adaptation looks like it could be a winner. And I'm super excited for the nostalgia-fest of Willa Holland (remember her on The O.C.?!) as Davey Wexler and Amy Jo Johnson (former Pink Power Ranger!) as her mom, Gwen.

Who else is excited for this movie? Or are you afraid it won't be as good as the book?
